    Hi
    I'm planning a mocktail night for a youth club. Young teens.

    Would anyone like to hazard a shopping list I should get from tesco so as to cover a couple of different mocktails?

    Thanks

    Soda water, ginger ale, grenadine (not the easiest to find though), tonic water, coke, 7up, orange juice, lemons, limes - that will cover the majority of the "famous" mocktails and allow a bit of experimentation. Maybe pineapple juice and coconut if you want to try doing pina colada style things but its needlessly messy.

    Garnishes (cherries really - onions and olives sort of need the alcohol to not taste odd!) and tacky 80s accessories (umbrellas, straws) may be popular depending how young the kids are.

    I can't remember if I've ever heard of mocktails but looking at this site makes me very interested as I don't drink. They look divine:

    You can get liquer essences intended to be added to spirits. They can be got in homebrew shops, or amazon.co.uk

    Triple sec would be a common liquer for cocktails, the likes of cointreau, grand marnier, blue curacao would be similar flavours with varying amounts of sugar. A blue lagoon has blue curacao which would be just blue food colouring, but seems to impress youngsters.

    You could get some other flavours, like peach schnapps. I would not bother with tequila, though included in many cocktails.
